While many of us choose to keep and apply makeup in the bathroom (it is a practical spot for this activity) , but that’s a big mistake.
Humidity and heat can ruin your makeup and make the application much harder, so it’s time to take your makeup routine somewhere else—to your bedroom vanity for instance.
Want to make your beauty station both pretty and practical? Here are a few staging and organization tips for your vanity.
Quick Navigation
Hide the clutter
You probably have a few old products with missing caps and crusty packaging—don’t throw them away, but don’t keep them on your vanity either.
Keep these products in drawers where they are hidden yet accessible (make sure to choose a vanity table with built-in drawers).
Newer products with chic packaging can be displayed on your tabletop using acrylic storage sets and wire bins.
Add texture
In order to boost the charm of your vanity, you want to layer your accessories and necessities and add some texture.
For instance, you can combine a vintage wooden desk with a modern metallic mirror above—this will ensure a nice mixture of textures and finishes and boost interest.
Metallic jewelry holders will further contrast with the rustic feel of the desk. Ensure your feet are warm by adding a faux fur rug under your vanity for some extra texture.
Get comfy
A cute chair is a key element to your chic vanity, so make sure to invest in something lux that will boost comfort and complete your vanity style.
One great idea is to hit your local thrift stores and look for something vintage.
But if you want to add a touch of modernity to your vanity, a see-through plastic chair is all you need—it will save space yet make your makeup corner look elevated and contemporary.
Light it up
While the best lighting for applying makeup is natural light, you can’t have that in the evening. To provide good illumination, add mirror lights around your looking glass.
For a touch of softness and extra glam, you can hang string lights on your vanity as well.
Use jewelry as decoration
In order to style your vanity, you might want to invest in various figurines, photographs or other decoration, but if you want to save money and boost the aesthetic appeal of your makeup station, you can display your jewelry and use it as décor.
Pieces from moonmagic.com will not only provide any outfit of yours a stylish touch, but they also look amazing when displayed on the wall. Their gentle look and colorful gems will add a perfectly feminine vibe to your vanity.
Incorporate some inspiration
A row or a shelf of photos, prints, quotes or books next to your vanity will add some inspiration to your little makeup corner.
You can install a decorative shelf filled with various works of art above your mirror or create a gallery wall and enjoy the beauty wherever you look.
Don’t forget the flowers
One of the easiest ways to add some color, texture and depth to your vanity is to place a plant or a vase with flowers.
Some fresh blooms like roses will give your space that staged and finished look.
Make it multifunctional
If you struggle with space, don’t worry. Your vanity can double as a nightstand if placed and styled correctly.
You’ll have the comfort of a nightstand (plenty of space for a lamp, phone and books) and have a practical spot to get ready in the morning filled with makeup, cosmetics and other necessary things for your routine.
By moving your makeup routine from your bathroom to your bedroom vanity, you will provide your makeup with a longer lifespan.
And if you’re using the styling and organizing tips above, you’ll add elegance, sophistication and positive vibes to your space.
